TWiles:
My go to's have been Buffalo Trace and Bulleit....but I have a new favorite.

Basil Hayden's is about the best I've found yet.   About $33, but I heard it used to be a lot more pricey. Anybody else have some brands they like?

dbradyh:
Basil Hayden is a nice one.... You might want to try the Belle Meade Single Barrel. We shared a nice bottle of that a couple of weeks ago with friends.

Here is a nice read:

Old Granddad is one I pick up often. 

Here is a good chart (and article) showing "linage", staying within the same distillery and adjust price point to your liking.

For Manhattans and Old Fashions (which I have more often than neat), I like Four Roses white label or Very Old Barton (86 not 80 proof).

Great graphic!

Steve H:
Eagle Rare is one of my go to's, especially the barrel picked by my local B&M. I like Wild Turkey 101, Elijah Craig 12 y/o and Taylor. As well, Willet is really good.

And just so you know, don't go chasing Pappy, instead, get Weller. Same family as you can see in the graphic and they are all distilled at the same distillery.
